Fu Xuan said: "It's hard to remember that Gongzi Xie still remembered that I invited you." But I have long forgotten when it was. ”

That is to say, the matter has long since passed.

Xie Zhan choked, no wonder, Shi Qing came back to tell him, and Fu Girl said that in the past few days when Gongzi Xie was free, she was not available for any day.

I was annoyed that he didn't reply to her in time.

As far as the matter is concerned, Xie Zhan is really not to blame for this matter.

On the second day of returning to Jiankang City from Mingyue Villa, Dali Temple received a number of cases, and these cases are also closely related to Fu Xuan's father, the official Shangshu Fu Yiyan.

In other words, the reason has to go back to the new hukou policy that came into effect in February.

Since the beginning of February, Emperor Mu An approved the proposal of Taiwei Fu Yiyan to explicitly register the "white nationality" household registration and officially change it to the "yellow nationality", intending to make all the people of Daliang have the same status and bear the same conscription, taxation, and military service.

In the hands of the noble family, in the fields and estates, there are many "white" people who do not need to pay taxes. This policy is to increase the family's tax amount in vain, which is detrimental to the interests of individual families, and naturally suffers from the counterattack of individual families.

Although the surname of Daliang is Chen, however, the official appointment has always implemented the recommendation system, that is, the personnel are recommended by the famous people in the court, and after the emperor passes the assessment, they are assigned to various positions.

Among the eight princes and other important officials, the royal family and the family have always accounted for half of each other, and there is no Hanmen Shu clan, and the people they recommend are naturally people within the family. As the saying goes, "there is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade".

Therefore, the officials in the state, county, and county are either members of the royal family or the family itself. Moreover, compared with the royal family, once several major families are gathered, they have a more dominant advantage in quantity.

The family resisted the new household registration policy, and locally, a large number of officials who already belonged to the family were helping relatives but not helping them.

Local officials not only neglected the implementation of the policy, but also stood by and even secretly helped people in the fields and estates when they beat up the people who were checking and hid their household registrations.

As a result, the implementation of the new policy is quite difficult.

Seeing that the new policy had been implemented for more than a month, and the effect was not obvious, since March, Taiwei personally led the team, with Zuo Min, the Ministry of Officials and several other Cao personnel, to the ten states of Daliang to advance.

The official department secretary who was in charge of inspecting the performance of officials accompanied the team, and the officials who bent the law for personal gain were judged on the spot and punished.

When it comes to promotion prospects, those officials will definitely struggle.

One side is judging, the other side is aggrieved, and the officials and local officials are competing against each other.

In the land of ten states, no yamen has the right to judge such cases, and these cases, with the visit of the two brothers of the Fujia family, are more and more, and finally, they are like snowflakes flying, one by one, densely flying to Dali Temple.

Up and down the Dali Temple, it was all busy with a rapidly rotating spinning top.

As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Xie Zhan didn't say that he didn't have time to go to the appointment, and he didn't even have enough time to rest, so he stayed in the annex not far from Dali Temple for more than ten days.

After being busy until the morning of the Duanyang Festival, after finishing the last case, he reluctantly stopped, and Xiu Mu could be regarded as Xiu Mu. Only then did he have time to go to his teacher's gathering according to the tradition of the past years.

I set off late, and I was in a hurry on the road, and when I saw Fuxuan at the bridgehead that day, I didn't have time to go over to greet her.

I don't know that since that day, this Fu Xuan has been hiding from him, and when she sees him, she leaves, and refuses to ask her.

The first time I made an exception, I took the initiative to ask the girl when she was free, but she was frequently refused, saying that he didn't mind, which was also false.

Now, hearing Fu Xuan say that she had forgotten, Xie Zhan had stopped thinking about the invitation.

Ben also invited him.

But looking at the spike of the sachet on Fu Xuan's waist, Xie Zhan couldn't help but be reminded of the memories of that day in Duanyang, and out of curiosity, he raised the folding fan and pointed at her waist, and asked, "On the day of the Duanyang Festival, why did you throw away the sachet?" ”

Naturally, he wouldn't say it directly, he thought she was going to give him the sachet.

Fu Xuan replied to him: "It's useless to keep it." ”

Fu Xuan is not good at female red, and the embroidery is not excellent. But she has a lot of research on spices and poisonous weeds. Before the Duanyang Festival, her mother said that she needed to make some sachets for the boys in the family to repel mosquitoes and ward off evil spirits, so she volunteered to prepare vanilla.

Because she doesn't like too strong taste, the main ingredients used in the sachet are not Angelica angelica and cloves, which are commonly used by others, but jasmine pine and acacia flowers, which not only taste elegant, but also relieve depression and calm the nerves, regulate qi and awaken the spleen.

When he grabbed the sweet pine, the smell of cedar on Xie Zhan's body suddenly came to mind, and Fu Xuan took the opportunity to make one for him.

Due to the mother's poor body and bones, the number of sewings that can be sewn at a time is limited, so the mother and daughter worked for three days before making one for each of them.

Although the number is not much, it is not only exquisite, but also very distinctive, and everyone who receives the sachet in the family can't put it down.

After being assigned to everyone, the only one is Xie Zhan.

When asked by the family, Fu Xuan also generously admitted that it was prepared for Xie Liulang, and the brothers and elders laughed at her for not staying in the middle of the daughter, and at the same time they were also blessings, wishing her to marry into the Xie family as soon as possible and get along with Xie Liulang.

How did they know that the wishful thinking of the Xie family was so vicious - her entry into the Xie Mansion was just a temporary perfunctory act on their part, and they didn't have the intention to marry at all.

Even Xie Zhan, when he had a marriage contract, turned a blind eye to her, his fiancée, and said nothing to her, so he was busy going to someone else's appointment.

She gave him a sachet again, and Baba went to maintain the relationship between the two, what was the use?

"How do you know it's useless?" Xie Zhan asked.

If she gave it to him, it was read that she was his fiancée, and he would not refuse even if he would not wear it.

His words are strange, her own things, whether they are useful or not, she still doesn't know?

Fu Xuan hooked her lips and smiled, and said unabashedly: "Master Xie, that sachet was originally given to you." But I changed my mind that day and didn't want to send it. It's not strange to throw it away, but you can't turn it around and give it to someone else. ”

Such a direct reply greatly surprised Xie Zhan.

Still, he didn't want to explore why she had changed her mind on the spur of the moment. For him, this family girl is squeamish, and it is normal for her emotions to be changeable.

The conversation stopped, no one spoke, and silence spread between the two.

The sun is gradually rising, and the lake breeze is blowing comfortably, such an environment makes people lazy.

Fu Xuan yawned again and again, seeing that Xie Zhan lowered his eyelids, did not speak, and did not look like he was going to paddle, and he was too lazy to inquire with him again, whether he wanted to return to the shore or go to the center of the lake next.

She moved the fan in front of her, quietly looked at the water on her clothes, and found that it had dried up, so she raised her arms and moved her somewhat stiff waist, and then lay down on her side, her head resting on her arms, and the brocade fan covering her face, lazily basking in the sun.

Exactly like a sleepy lazy cat.

Xie Zhan saw for the first time that the girl could have such a comfortable appearance without scruples, and he didn't know how to feel for a while.

He had no doubt that if he hadn't been here, this "lazy cat" basking in the sun would probably have turned over his belly and lay on his back in this small boat.

The complicated look of the person opposite, Fu Xuan was unconscious, she only remembered that the wind was blowing, the sound of frogs was coming, and the boat was also drifting gently.

After a while, I fell asleep and felt nothing......
